4.2 אַסעמבלי סטעפּס

1. צוטשעפּען פיס: Securely fasten the stainless steel leg assembly to the main body of the Unitank using the provided hardware. Ensure all bolts are tightened evenly.
2. Install Casters/Feet: If applicable, attach the casters or adjustable feet to the bottom of the leg assembly. Adjust feet to ensure the tank is level.
3. Install Valves and Ports: Attach all butterfly valves, the blow-off arm, pressure gauge, and any other included ports (e.g., thermowell, sampling valve) to their respective tri-clamp fittings. Ensure all tri-clamps are properly seated and secured with gaskets.
4. פֿאַרבינדן קיל-ליניעס: Connect your glycol chiller or cooling system to the jacketed cooling ports on the Unitank. Ensure connections are tight to prevent leaks.
5. ערשט רייניקונג: Before first use, thoroughly clean and sanitize the interior of the Unitank and all components that will come into contact with your product. Refer to Section 6 for detailed cleaning instructions.

5. אַפּערייטינג ינסטרוקטיאָנס

This section outlines the general procedures for operating your Unitank 2.0 for fermentation and conditioning.

5.1 Filling the Unitank

• Ensure the Unitank is clean and sanitized.
• Close all butterfly valves except for the main inlet/outlet valve (if used for filling).
• Carefully transfer your wort or liquid into the Unitank. Avoid splashing to minimize oxygen pickup.
• Once filled, close the inlet valve and attach the blow-off tube or airlock to the appropriate port.

5.2 Temperature Control (Jacketed Cooling)

The Unitank 2.0 features an advanced jacketed cooling system for precise temperature management.

1. Connect your glycol chiller or cooling pump to the cooling jacket ports.
2. Set your desired fermentation temperature on your cooling controller. The Unitank's design allows for efficient heat exchange, enabling stable temperature maintenance and rapid crashing.
3. Monitor the internal temperature using a thermowell and probe (not included, but compatible).

5.3 Fermentation and Conditioning

• Allow fermentation to proceed, monitoring pressure via the integrated pressure gauge and releasing excess pressure as needed through the PRV or blow-off arm.
• For conditioning or cold crashing, activate the cooling system to bring the temperature down to your desired level. The increased cooling surface area of the Unitank 2.0 facilitates faster crashing.
• Yeast can be harvested from the conical bottom via the dump valve.

6. וישאַלט און רייניקונג

Regular cleaning and maintenance are essential for hygiene and the longevity of your Unitank 2.0.

6.1 רייניקונג פּראָוסידזשערז

1. שווענקען: Immediately after emptying the Unitank, rinse thoroughly with warm water to remove gross fermentation debris.
2. ריין: Use a brewery-specific cleaner (e.g., PBW or similar alkaline cleaner) according to the manufacturer's instructions. Fill the tank with the cleaning solution and allow it to soak, or use a CIP (Clean-In-Place) spray ball if equipped. Scrub any stubborn areas with a soft brush.
3. שווענקען ווידער: Rinse thoroughly with clean water to remove all cleaning solution residue.
4. דיסאַסעמבאַל: Periodically disassemble all valves, gaskets, and fittings for thorough cleaning and inspection.

6.2 סאַניטיזאַטיאָן

Before each use, the Unitank must be properly sanitized to prevent contamination.

• Use a no-rinse sanitizer (e.g., Star San) according to the manufacturer's dilution instructions.
• Fill the Unitank with the sanitizing solution or spray all internal surfaces thoroughly. Ensure all ports, valves, and gaskets are exposed to the sanitizer.
• Allow the recommended contact time before draining. Do not rinse after sanitizing if using a no-rinse sanitizer.
